At Steel City, we view logo-branded trousers as essential workwear, not just promotional clothing. We know that the focus has to be on fabric weight, stitching, and a branding method that’s going to last after repeat washes.
We manage the whole process for you – from visuals and pricing to production checks and delivery updates – so you can kit out your team without the headache of chasing multiple people. It’s about making sure the process is tight so we can back you every step of the way.
- Durability where it counts: We choose polycotton workwear around 240-270gsm and look for twin-needle seams and bar-tacked stress points because we know pockets and knees take the most wear. This construction holds its shape and resists splitting, which is vital when your team is kneeling, lifting, and washing kit on a tight rota.
- Branding that lasts: Our approach is to steer you towards embroidery (often up to 7K stitches) or a high-quality transfer print, depending on the garment. That choice is really important to prevent cracking, peeling, or fraying when you’re running hot washes and tumble drying to get gear back ready for the next shift.
- Artwork approval and lead times: Our proofing process fixes artwork, logo position and colour before anything goes into production. With a lead time of around 10 working days from approval, this cuts down the risk of errors and ensures everything lands well for your team’s start date or rollout.
- Dedicated account management: We put one account manager on the job to run visuals, pricing, proofs, and delivery updates. That way you can place one order for mixed sizes without the usual errors, ensuring the whole team gets their kit at the same time.
- Consistent repeat ordering: As a BPMA-accredited distributor, we keep consistent ordering paperwork and check repeat orders carefully so you don’t get unexpected changes between batches. If you’re rolling trousers out in phases, this helps keep the look and fit consistent from one delivery to the next.
- Sizes for the whole team: We pick ranges that typically run XS-5XL, with regular/long leg options on selected styles and adjustable waists where they help. If your workforce is mixed, this ensures everyone feels comfortable and reduces the issue of trousers that sit unworn because the fit isn’t quite right.
- Sourcing specific requirements: We use our core trouser picks as a baseline for quality so you start from a standard that works. However, if you need a specific pocket layout or fit, and you’ve got the lead time, we can use our expertise to source exactly what you need to match your specific requirements.
